Default Mods coming to a close (Hopefully)

With the addition of the Quaife LSD here shortly that will complete the mods in my signature. It has finally hit me though that I would like to participate in some track days, maybe alot of them so I'm gonna throw together a little list of what my final round of mods should be (in my mind). Any opinions as to what I should add or remove from my list is greatly appreciated. Also I'm trying to keep this final round under 3k (including installation)

parts:

1) Z1 brake kit upgrade for NON-SPORT MODELS (about $600)
2) Oil cooler 25-row (thermostatic-plate also) (about $600)
3) Front and rear sway bars ($500 parts)

I guess thats it, can't really think of any more mods for engine that make sense that has good bang for the buck cost at this point.

thank you
boogie down...

why do you have the cost of your mods in your mod list?

why do people even have mod lists in their sig to begin with?

It's how people express their individuality. We all love the Z but part of the fun is putting your stamp on it. The mods we put on our cars are like our finger prints. It's what makes each Z a individual... isn't that the purpose of a signature too?

That's part of it, but it also cuts down the amount of PM's I have to reply about what I have on my car. Even with the sig, I still get bombarded with the same questions once in awhile.

if you must know it's because others have it in theirs and I found it useful to know what mods they had so I figured I would do the same but also add the price because as a noob to the 370 and having to have my stuff done at a shop I would find it interesting to know about how much it would run so I'm keeping track.

I'm sure the FI crowd could put up some shocking numbers but thats not the goal, its really just informative. I wish someone had done it when i joined so I knew how much I was actually going to end up spending...

I'm always present at the columbia meat feast. I'd be more than welcome to listen to snide comments in person.

peace homie..
